The Way of Life sees you relive different experiences using three characters at different ages. It sounds like a cool idea and it's free so why not give it a go?

They are planning a Definitive Edition which will be a paid game, so this game is a taster of what is to come essentially.

I tried it out and it seems to work okay, but it's a little bit too on the weird side for me personally. I do like the way your thoughts about something pop up on the screen, that's pretty cool.

The controls feel a little too floaty and there's no explanation of what's actually going on, or what you have to do. You have to figure out everything for yourself. I don't mind games like that at all, Gone Home was a great experience, but this game feels a bit too experimental right now for lack of a better word. I'm hoping the full version will provide a better experience.

About the game
The Way of Life makes the player relive the same life's experiences from the point of view of three characters of different ages: an adult, an old man and a child.

The experiences we want to tell about are very different, they go from a quarrel to a dream, and further to more serious topics like death and love. The main point about the game is that every experience will be told through different gameplay mechanics​.​

Also, every playable character has his own specific mechanics and a way to see the world.
The player throughout the game can explore and live different stories and feel a variety of emotions in an amusing and captivating experience.

Ah, it seems much expanded from the initial version (which I didn't like much). Nice to see that the Linux support was kept :)

EDIT: Turns out I'm still not a fan of this game. Extremely clunky and expository writing, bad gameplay and not really anything special done with the basic idea. It's still a good idea for a game, just badly executed.
